Arlington, VT, February 21, 2013 –
Matrix Games (
www.matrixgames.com) is proud to announce the
release of
Unity of Command: Red Turn, the first DLC for
Unity of Command, for both PC and Mac. The story is set
shortly after the events of the Stalingrad Campaign focusing on
Operation Citadel, the ill-fated German attack at
Kursk.

Unity of Command: Red Turn is a Turn-Based strategy
game developed by
2x2 Games that relives the gigantic Soviet
campaign made by German Army in Eastern Front near the city
of Kursk in July and August 1943. It is remembered as the largest
series of armored clashes and the costliest single day of aerial
warfare in history.

The Soviet campaign features 17 scenarios, which put together
tell the story of how a maturing Red Army won the war through
perfecting the art of the deep operation – essentially a
Soviet variant of the blitzkrieg.
2x2 Games has added scenarios that cover
everything from large scale operations such as Rumyantsev or
Bagration, to the more confined and intricate affairs such as the
Battle for Kiev in November 1943.

There are also four scenarios that have been developed
specifically for multi-player, including the tense Korsun Pocket
and Operation Konrad.

The PC and Mac releases of Unit of Command: Red Turn are
available in the Matrix Games
Online Store. The Mac version of Unity of
Command: Red Turn requires the 1.04a
update.
